Sai Sudharsan, just 24, has rapidly grown into a mainstay of Gujarat Titans’ top order. A part of the franchise since its inception in 2022, the left-hander has evolved into one of the most dependable batters in the league. His breakthrough came in 2023, when he scored 362 runs in just eight games at an average of 51.71 and a strike rate of 141.40. The standout was a fluent 47-ball 96 in the final against CSK, an innings that underlined both his temperament and ability to deliver on the big stage. That knock accelerated his rise to international cricket later that year. Opening the innings on ODI debut against South Africa, Sudharsan struck an unbeaten 55, showcasing his temperament on the big stage. He scaled greater heights in 2025, amassing 759 runs at an average of 54.21 and a strike rate of 156.17, clinching the Orange Cap. More than the numbers, it’s ever-improving strike rate without sacrificing consistency that stands out. With experience across formats in international cricket and a game built on strong fundamentals, Sudharsan remains central to Gujarat Titans’ batting plans heading into TATA IPL 2026.
